Little Nicki 118 Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) we should all meet up for a pint i treat you all after the meeting if Eastbourne win and you will all know who i am dancing around with my Adam Ellis T-Shirt on lol, but i have to day i am also a big Danny fan so i am stuck this week but the winners will be the public that turn up to see what we hope will be a great meeting. Also report were that the IOW had a crowd of about 100 people last night so i can really see that lasting that long. would seem a shame if they never got off the ground. well the forecast is not good for Edinburugh also for susesx tomorrow and not great for Glasgow sunday he could loose out on all the racing poor Danny Only if Eastbourne win cat? And just the T-shirt? With no match at the EWR this Sunday, I may well make the 500 mile round trip to the south coast for the weekend (I have relatives in Hastings) and pop along to this and take in Mildenhall's fixture on the way back. Weather forecasts aren't great and I see that Somerset's match tonight has been called off already due to warthogs on the track. Fingers crossed the Eagles v Kings fixture survives. Adam Ellis did as well as could be expected at the U21 Final last night, finishing 3rd. Beaten by two riders who ride in the EL - oh, hang on, Adam does too , though Robert Lambert won't thank him for messing him up in the Final. That JPB is some special talent at 15. Yes, have to worry for the IoW. Running 'meaningless' fixtures at the start of the season may be all well and good, but an abandoned fixture won't either. Can only hope it gets better for them.

Alex2000 266 Posted April 16, 2016 Lovely evening for some speedway lol. Wonder if the track has dried up at all and more to the point if they actually packed it down to give it a chance of fending the rain off. Take 3 next week but with mildenhall bearing in mind that ain't looking great yet however it's a week away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No surprise it was called off as saw photo of track this morning on the internet and obvious that rain yesterday/overnight/first thing this morning had brought about meeting being postponed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame as I was looking forward to this match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waco 1,026 Posted April 17, 2016 Rye was under water in the morning but they worked like trojans on it and come the evening it produced some brilliant racing poses the question why could not Easty have done the same .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukasdrymllukas 135 Posted April 17, 2016 No idea, but as I couldn't make the re-staging, thank god they didn't know how Trojans worked (how did Trojans work, by the way?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reviresco 708 Posted April 17, 2016 No idea, but as I couldn't make the re-staging, thank god they didn't know how Trojans worked (how did Trojans work, by the way?) Better to work like Trojans than working like dogs, probably? from what I know, my dog has never done a days work in his life, then it is a dog's life I suppose. On the subject of Trojans, maybe ask Troy Batchelor or Watford's Troy Deeney, as they must know how Trojans work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame as I was looking forward to this match!Ellis Perks seemed to be going round ok yesterday, with dust coming off the wheels! Have Eastbourne got many spare dates or could this end up being a double header later in the year? Edited April 17, 2016 by teaboy279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
